The key thing here is to understand that there's only a point in using Smart Pages if you're going to direct people to relevent material. If you're thinking of using it for any other purpose - forget it for 3 reasons:
#1 It would produce misleading results for the person searching.
#2 Google probably wouldn't rank your terms well, if the content wasn't relevant to the search.
#3 The person isn't going to buy from you if they've been duped into finding your page.We know from a ton of experience from traffic swarm type pages that getting traffic to a page is no problem at all. Getting meaningful traffic there is quite another matter.
Used properly Smart Page Creator is a *killer* tool and I've posted the evidence for this claim at the top of this thread.
To your online success!
